The Language I Speak
Posted on Saturday August 26, 2006 at 1:01pm.
I found this via Books, Inq. I'm from Queens, New York, and for a pretentious while was a bit self-conscious about having an "uneducated-sounding accent" (though mine was never that strong). I also spent a few (six, not in a row) years in Miami, have lived in Manhattan, and now live near Philadelphia. So, really, it's a wonder I can speak at all. Here are my results (which curiously totals 95%. It seems that I'm an enigma):
